The “Urban Ecology & Environment” working group defined TCIN as a Resilient Social-Ecological System and classified the ideas in two main categories: “man-made environment” and “natural environment”. "Environment and morality” was one of the interesting concepts found in people’s ideas in the second category. Then, all working groups had a discussion on the challenges towards the city Iranians need in each category. The session will be followed with another one to derive the solutions.

Urban Dialogue is an opportunity in the second phase of INUC to analyze and process people’s ideas, solutions and recommendations on The City Iranians Need. As the inputs are assorted based on Habitat III issue papers, the thematic urban dialogues will focus on the following six areas: social cohesion and equity, urban frameworks, spatial development, urban economy, urban ecology and environment, and urban housing and basic services.
